Hyndburn Clarets fans and well-wishers teamed up with their former chairman to walk over 10 miles to raise thousands of pounds to fund prostate cancer screenings.

The walk, which started at The Plough pub in Great Harwood and ended at Burnley’s Turf Moor stadium, was organised by the Barry Kilby Prostate Cancer Appeal.

Over 80 fans joined the walk and collected money from the public as they passed through Clayton-le-Moors, Altham and Padiham before heading to the ground to catch the last Premier League game of the season.

Barry’s daughter Joanne Kilby, who led the walk, said the day overall was “just fantastic”.

She said: “To start off there was about 60 or 70 people but the number grew along the way as we had encouraged people to join us along the way. Overall we probably had about 80 or 90 people.

“Although the majority of people taking part were Burnley fans, we also had (Blackburn) Rovers fans taking part too.

"It doesn’t matter what team you support cancer affects everyone. Bucket collections were taken on the way with all the girls doing a brilliant job.

"They were literally jumping on stopped buses and collecting money and also cars at traffic lights.

"We are still adding up the money from the bucket collections and sponsorship forms. Up to now we have raised in excess of £3,500 from the walk.”
